Ah - the elusive Jones fiddle style!! In my early days of learning the fiddle I sat next to Nic on numerous occasions, including extended periods when I toured with Bandoggs as sound engineer, TRYING to pick up his way of playing. Every time I'd walk away from the session thinking I'd cracked it, only to have it evaporate in very short order. .... and may I add, Mr P, that I still have a clear picture of visiting Matlock Folk club one night (circa 1967?) and seeing The Halliard for the very first time - a very fine night indeed.
